And yet the entire chattering class and the base of the party refuses to look at Romney&#39;s steady support stretched over YEARS, not just WEEKS, and decidedly declare him the weakest frontrunner of all times. <br /><br />Doesn&#39;t it worry any of these people that Mr./Mrs. Pure Candidate &quot;x&quot; may not be able to hold up with support over the long haul? Even if they reach stratospheric poll numbers, they may end up being very weak a month (or in Newts case) a week later. That&#39;s why Palin should have gotten in...if the Party absolutely refuses to nominate Romney, at least we would have gone with someone who was a known commodity with a solid base of support. <br />We were told ad nauseum by all of the conservative media ( at least the biggies) that ALL of Newt&#39;s baggage was widely known and accepted, and largely thought to be behind him and not a factor moving forward...I guess not. Isn&#39;t it slightly risky to nominate a candidate that has never spent a day in the double digits on any National poll?<br /><br /><br />GordonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-1209747837710686912011-12-19T16:44:10.053-05:002011-12-19T16:44:10.053-05:00I mean Reagan supported pro choice legislation in ...I mean Reagan supported pro choice legislation in California..raised taxes too.Terryehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15226693134160057218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-75386285021899228352011-12-19T16:43:12.047-05:002011-12-19T16:43:12.047-05:00Martha,

Reagan is constantly credited with creating the base as it exists today. By building the &quot;Big Tent&quot; mentality within the party he was able to pull in social conservatives, progressives, fiscal conservatives, libertarians, etc. Today many would rather drive people away rather than invite them into the fold. In fact, many would charge that if a person hasn&#39;t been 100% pro-life, 100% anti-gay, had any intellectual opinion on the here-to-fore undetermined healthcare debate, and hasn&#39;t ever changed their mind on one single solitary issue - then they don&#39;t deserve to be called a Republican.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3571954475140446599.post-73281117334143156642011-12-19T14:19:22.060-05:002011-12-19T14:19:22.060-05:00I&#39;m in Nevada.
